Recreation Centre is always looking for committed community

A special thank you to the 2004 team
of volunteers who were responsible for building the ice surface,
clearing snow and the regular floods of the Dovercourt and
McKellar outdoor rinks. It was our best winter ever. We are
proud to be part of the community rink program. Thanks for
helping us provide an arena where children can learn to skate,
a place where families can have fun together and a place where
the famous hockey players and figure skaters of the future
can get their start.
